Monthly Tasting Group HWS #041; Syrah/Shiraz (By me): Not such a very expressive bouquet with good cherries and animal tones. Soft acidity, red fruits, also strawberries and some herbs. Soft tannin. There is already some development. A bit sharp in the finish. Don't know what to think. Not really impressive at the moment. If I had another bottle I would keep it for another 3 or 4 years.

France Trip Part 2 - Northern Rhône; 6/18/2006-6/20/2006: Tasted at the domaine. Bottled the same day we tasted. Great black/violet color. Light spice; good acidity. Some smoke. Really young and primal. This was showing a little lean and under-fruited -- bottle shock perhaps?

Tasted at the domaine. Bottled earlier that day. Black fruit, smoke. Highish acidity. Smoke, mineral. Vines near Philippe Faury's vines.
